I didn't care much when I was a kid, it was no biggie to me. Also, I go to Taraweeh prayer with my mum, just in weekends, since she's not around during weekdays.

lol i edited my post..i guess it was in your other thread...(i miss-read the qsn)

[Reluctant]

I converted to Islam two months ago. This will be my first Ramadan, I'm looking forward to fasting and increasing my faith. I like the feeling of fasting and think it's true that it can be a shield against bad deeds and temptations. InshaAllah I will also read the whole Qur'an during Ramadan and my faith in Allah will become stronger. May Allah give us benefits during this holy month and increase all of our faiths. Ameen.

[STING]

I don't wanna write much here, but really Ramadhan is a time that refreshes everything in me. My body, my mind, my heart and my soul. Don't know how to explain, but its amazing :)

[Miss G]

Temptation:

-What do you do to keep away from food?

Not much. Seeing food &/or people eating doesn't do anything for me really.

Fasting:

-When did you start fasting?

Can't remember, maybe 7 or 8.

-Was it on daily bases?

No.

-Nowadays, Do you fast the whole Ramadhan?

Yes. I fast on the days that I have to.

FOOD:

-What are the dishes that in each year, you can't wait for Ramadhan to come because of it ?

Hmmm, all that finger food gets me all excited!

-Do you gain or loss weight in Ramadhan?

Don't know really. Never checked. But I guess I do neither.

-What are the Ramadhan specials in your house?

Lgaymaat definitely has that special Ramadan feel to it! :love:

Prayers:

-Do you pray the prayers according to their times, or postponed it?

Yes, I try my best to do so.

Shows:

-What shows do you usely watch (e.g Eyptian, Kuwaiti, Qatari)?

The cartoon "Freej". :color:

-What do you think of the shows which bring up forbidden materials in this Holy Month? (e.g Alcohol etc.)

Personally, I don't like the idea of all those shows that are shown especially on Ramadhan, regardless of their content,unless it's to do with something fruitful, where people can gain a better knowledge/understanding of something to do with the month itself, or about how different cultures celebrate the month. I think they take away from what the holy month is all about, & are just a really bad idea, generally. To me it just doesn't seem right.

Others:

-What else do you do in this holy and blessful month?

I try to finish reading the Holy Qur'an, & so I make an effort to read certain pages everyday. Also, there's alot of family getherings involved. :)

Hehe, seeing as you're such a food lover, you really should come here during the Ramadhan time & join a family when breaking their fast. Your taste buds will have a freakin' field day! It really is a great experience, & I'm not talking about the quantity of the food, I'm talking about the quality. People tend to put extra efforts when preparing meals for Ramadhan & get all creative & all. It's great! :D

[marianna]

Lip smacking good darrrllinnnn'............I WISH I could return to Oman if there was a member who could show me around. It's a matter of saving up and heading that way again. Sometimes one can find tickets (round trip from Chicago for about $850.00 USD).

Exactly, Ramadan is like a river for a muslim every year stop by it to collect many deeds from it and refresh and strengthen his/her faith.

And the best time to say 'du3a' is while breaking the fast.
